Spotify, the dominant one in the increasingly popular streaming music service with millions of active users, is a typical freemium service. It offers three types of subscription – Spotify Free, Spotify Premium ($9.99) and Spotify Family ($14.99).
Spotify Free users are provided with the basic features of the program, and with limitations of course. Compared to Spotify Premium subscribers, Spotify Free users are forced to listen to the ads inserted randomly between tracks, unable to get the highest audio quality and denied listening to Spotify songs offline.
A great many people wonder whether there is a way to play songs from Spotify Free without the internet. To make it clear, if we are able to download songs from Spotify Free, we can listen to them offline then. But as we all know, all the songs on Spotify Free are protected in an encoded format, which makes it seem to be impossible to download and stream songs from the platform to a local computer for offline listening.
But from another point of view, as long as we are able to decode the format to a popular one, like MP3, we can easily get them downloaded. Now let’s explore for more details without further ado.
